A vintage Japanese hinoki masu, a traditional sake box cup crafted from cypress wood. Clean-lined and beautifully simple, the piece highlights the natural grain and pale tone of the hinoki, known for its lightness and subtle fragrance.
 
Rooted in Japanese drinking culture, the masu is both functional and symbolic, often used in ceremonial or celebratory settings. Its minimal, architectural form also lends itself well as a small storage box or decorative object.
 
A timeless piece of Japanese woodcraft, balancing utility with quiet elegance.
 
Sourced in Fuji, Japan
